A DangerO Uncertainty.


 No matter how strong may be every link in d chain of circumstaatial evidence there is always doubt, lack of certainty, that should weaken it and cause us to distrust it. I remember story my grandfather used to tell of ip which an inno- cent life sacrificed for guilty person. A boy a farm for some misdemeanor was sentenced by his father, a stern man, with m eye to saving half price ticket, to be deprived of his annual circus privilege, and in addition he was 10 hoe so many rows of corn. while the rest of the family took in the lady's pad act, the bareback riding of Jack Robinson, the club that killed Captain Cook and other attractions of the great moral show. The boy watched the wagon drive away, with tears i'll his eyes, and then he went at his corn rows with determination to make short crop, if it could be worked without detection. But he grew hungry after awhile and went into the house and investigated the pantry. There were seven pies-it was an American household-seven blackberry pies baked for Sunday. The boy, who was not feeling very we'll himself, soon placed his person anterior to six of the pies, but paused thoughtfully, and with keen re- gret midway on the seventh. One half of that he left. He then caught the family cat. thrust her nose and feet into the remains of the pie, and dropped her on the clean, white sanded floor of the pantry that she might track around on it.. Theu he went back to his corn rows. Evening brought the family home. The boy saw them climb joyously out of the big wagon. He noted how the lover ripe apples fell from the trees when his sister jumped over the side and lighted fat-footed on the ground He saw his father let himself down over the double trees and get himself kicked twice by the roau colt. He saw his mother waiting pa- tiently until somebody mad time and molina tion to take the baby. He saw his grand mother perch herself on the hub of the hind wheel on one foot, whils she made vague, circumferential wandering excursions for the wide, wide world with the other. He saw his brothers let themselves down over the tall gate and break away to avoid doing any work. At last the wagon was empty and there were visible signs of excitement about the house. 'fThe raid is discovered" !" said the boy, cutting the roots of d healthy stalk of corn and carefully milling up wig orous lance weed. Presently he saw his father come out of the house with the gun over his shoulder and the cat under his arm. ''The culprit is arrested" calmly remarked the young robber, as he leaned thoughtfully upon his hoe and watched his father disap- pear behind the barn. The sharp report of $ gun rang out upon the qniet of the sunset hour. There" said the boy, with the confident expression of one who knows what he is talking about, ''there goes an- other victim to circumstantial evidence.

PROMISING REVOLT.


 One of the most significant and cheering New York was the blunt refusal of the engi- neers and the brewers to obey the order giv- en them to strike by the notorious leaders of the notorious District Assembly No. 49. It has been matter for wonder that such a re- volt has not come sooner That it has come indicates that all the organized workingmen are not yet prepared to be unquestioning slaves to such men as Quinn and his fellow conspirators.
 The brewers of New York aud vicinity who were ordered to strike because the labor leaders thought that more disturbance would help them are very thoroughly organized They have contract with their employers This contract insures them fair wages with which they are content. It provides for the arbitration of unforeseen differences that may arise. The arbitrators are to be four foremen and four workmen, and if these can- not agree a committee of four from the Knights of Labor is to take the place of the workmen, who are to be present to give in- formation but are not to vote. When they were ordered to strike to help strikers with whose grievances they had no direct concern they kept their agreement with their employ CTS. The engineers are not so thoroughly organized as the brewers, but they are, ne- cessarily, intelligent men, and they didn't see any reason why they should leave good places to help Quinn and his deluded fol- lowers.
 There are about fifteen thousand of these men who refused to obey orders, and their action is important It is severe setback for such men as Quinn, and will greatly de- crease the power and influence of the Knights. Such examples are sure to be fol- lowed The Knights who do not hold office have had much reason to find fault with the performances of many who do, and would before now in many cases have refused to subordinate their obvious interests to the will of those above them had they only pos sessed the courage. It will probably never be SO easy again to induce large bodies of workmen to leave profitable work in order to coerce the employers of other laborers who are dissatisfied. The American idea of lndi vidual liberty is beginning to show itself in the despotically ruled order of Knights, and it will soon make irreparable trouble for the ignorant and malicious among the leaders.

DAUGHTER OF FEN MILLIONS.

Little MIgnon in JeweIry Store Selecting a Watch for Her Small Belt.
 l [Blakely Hall in New York Mail and Express A little girl came into the leading jewel
 ry store the other day to select watch for her small belt. She came with her
 mamma and the footman lifted her out of
 the carriage, while demure little French maid walked three steps behind the child ready to do its slightest bidding with alac- rity The little ten year old was clad in
 sables from her jaunty cap to a pair of tiny fur overoaiter5 that covered her boots;
 her cloak was marvel of beauty and she
 carried a natty little gold tipped umbrel-
 la in one of her gloved hands. She walk ed
 down the long corridor of the store beside
 her mamma with her juvenile nose held high
 in the air and her eyes moving from side to side with the calmness of an old sghtseer Presently they came to the counter where the little watches were on show, and one of the clerks threw open the how case while another hurried down to the shop to get a chair for the little miss to stand upon. She handed her umbrella to the maid, drew off l her gloves with great delIberation, mounted l the chair and began looking the watches over | carefully one after another. They cost from 1 one hundred to six hundred dollars apiece. | Each one was sc1utinized with the utmost | deiberatiop, and there not the slightest expression of childish wonder or delight. | Her scrutiny would have done credit to a Jewish pawn broker examining articles on which he was asked to advance pledge 'I wish you would be quick and select
 one, Mignon," said the mother, moving weariIy from one foot to another and inno- gently refusing to notice any suggestions of the salesmen; ''yo ucertainiy have had time enough to make up your mind. Why don't you take that pretty with the sapphire set in the back of the case?'
 ''I don't like sapphires," said the child calmly. "They are unlucky."
 'No miss," interposed the salesman pleasantly. ''It is the opal which is lucky and not the sapDhire'
 The child raised her gray eyes to the sales
 mans face for the first time and stared at
 him calmly. Then she said with a manner
 that very much resen bled her mother's q
 don't think I'll trouble you to tell me what
 stone is or is not unlueky. I am quite able
 to decide myself and I much prefer doing it
 without having any outside interference"
 It is impossible to describe paper the
 cool effrontery of the childs manner. The
 salesman blushed like school girl and held
 his tongue while the daughter of ten mil
 lions stood calmly on her chair, fanked on
 one side by ger languid mothe! and the oth-
 CT by her silent maid, criticisng the watches
 slowly and carefully. She complained of the
 chasing on one, the shape of another, the
 beveled edge of third, the size of foulth
 and so on until every body in the vicinity was
 wearied by the spectacle. Finally she deci-
 ded to order one, aud was carted off upstairs
 where she could give. her opinions in details
 to an expert in the manufacture of watches Take her all in all she about the most
 unpleasant type of New York girl that l
 have ever seen.
